SeaQuery

🌊 A dynamic query builder for MySQL, Postgres and SQLite

Introduction

SeaQuery is query builder to help you construct dynamic SQL queries in Rust. You can construct expressions, queries and schema as abstract syntax trees using an ergonomic API. We support MySQL, Postgres and SQLite behind a common interface that aligns their behaviour where appropriate.

This library is the foundation of SeaORM, an async & dynamic ORM for Rust.

Install

```toml

Cargo.toml

[dependencies] sea-query = "^0" ```

Motivation

Why would you want to use a dynamic query builder?

1. Parameter bindings

One of the headaches when using raw SQL is parameter binding. With SeaQuery you can:

rust assert_eq!( Query::select() .column(Glyph::Image) .from(Glyph::Table) .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A")) .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).is_in(vec![1, 2, 3])) .build(PostgresQueryBuilder), (r#"SELECT "image" FROM "glyph" WHERE "image" LIKE $1 AND "id" IN ($2, $3, $4)"#.to_owned(), Values(vec![Value::String(Box::new("A".to_owned())), Value::Int(1), Value::Int(2), Value::Int(3)])) );

1. Dynamic query

You can construct the query at runtime based on user inputs:

rust Query::select() .column(Char::Character) .from(Char::Table) .conditions( // some runtime condition true, // if condition is true then add the following condition |q| { q.and_where(Expr::col(Char::Id).eq(1)); }, // otherwise leave it as is |q| { } );

Integration

We provide integration for SQLx, postgres and rusqlite. See examples for usage.

Iden

Iden is a trait for identifiers used in any query statement.

Commonly implemented by Enum where each Enum represents a table found in a database, and its variants include table name and column name.

[Iden::unquoted()] must be implemented to provide a mapping between Enum variants and its corresponding string value.

```rust use sea_query::{*};

// For example Character table with column id, character, font_size... pub enum Character { Table, Id, FontId, FontSize, }

// Mapping between Enum variant and its corresponding string value impl Iden for Character { fn unquoted(&self, s: &mut dyn std::fmt::Write) { write!(s, "{}", match self { Self::Table => "character", Self::Id => "id", Self::FontId => "fontid", Self::FontSize => "fontsize", }).unwrap(); } } ```

If you're okay with running another procedural macro, you can activate the derive feature on the crate to save you some boilerplate. For more usage information, look at the derive examples.

```rust use sea_query::Iden;

// This will implement Iden exactly as shown above

[derive(Iden)]

enum Character { Table } asserteq!(Character::Table.tostring(), "character");

// You can also derive a unit struct

[derive(Iden)]

struct Glyph; asserteq!(Glyph.tostring(), "glyph"); ```

Expression

Use [Expr] to construct select, join, where and having expression in query.

rust assert_eq!( Query::select() .column(Char::Character) .from(Char::Table) .and_where( Expr::expr(Expr::col(Char::SizeW).add(1)).mul(2) .equals(Expr::expr(Expr::col(Char::SizeH).div(2)).sub(1)) ) .and_where(Expr::col(Char::SizeW).in_subquery( Query::select() .expr(Expr::cust_with_values("ln(? ^ ?)", vec![2.4, 1.2])) .take() )) .and_where(Expr::col(Char::Character).like("D").and(Expr::col(Char::Character).like("E"))) .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder), [ r#"SELECT "character" FROM "character""#, r#"WHERE ("size_w" + 1) * 2 = ("size_h" / 2) - 1"#, r#"AND "size_w" IN (SELECT ln(2.4 ^ 1.2))"#, r#"AND (("character" LIKE 'D') AND ("character" LIKE 'E'))"#, ].join(" ") );

Condition

If you have complex conditions to express, you can use the [Condition] builder, usable for [ConditionalStatement::cond_where] and [SelectStatement::cond_having].

rust assert_eq!( Query::select() .column(Glyph::Id) .from(Glyph::Table) .cond_where( Cond::any() .add( Cond::all() .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_null()) .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).is_null()) ) .add( Cond::all() .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_in(vec![3, 4])) .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A%")) ) ) .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder), [ r#"SELECT "id" FROM "glyph""#, r#"WHERE"#, r#"("aspect" IS NULL AND "image" IS NULL)"#, r#"OR"#, r#"("aspect" IN (3, 4) AND "image" LIKE 'A%')"#, ].join(" ") );

There is also the [any!] and [all!] macro at your convenience:

rust Query::select() .cond_where( any![ Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_in(vec![3, 4]), all![ Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_null(), Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A%") ] ] );

Statement Builders

Statements are divided into 2 categories: Query and Schema, and to be serialized into SQL with [QueryStatementBuilder] and [SchemaStatementBuilder] respectively.

Schema statement has the following interface:

rust fn build<T: SchemaBuilder>(&self, schema_builder: T) -> String;

Query statement has the following interfaces:

```rust fn build(&self, query_builder: T) -> (String, Values);

fn tostring(&self, querybuilder: T) -> String; ```

build builds a SQL statement as string and parameters to be passed to the database driver through the binary protocol. This is the preferred way as it has less overhead and is more secure.

to_string builds a SQL statement as string with parameters injected. This is good for testing and debugging.

Query Select

```rust let query = Query::select() .column(Char::Character) .column((Font::Table, Font::Name)) .from(Char::Table) .leftjoin(Font::Table, Expr::tbl(Char::Table, Char::FontId).equals(Font::Table, Font::Id)) .andwhere(Expr::col(Char::SizeW).isin(vec![3, 4])) .andwhere(Expr::col(Char::Character).like("A%")) .to_owned();

asserteq!( query.tostring(MysqlQueryBuilder), r#"SELECT character, font.name FROM character LEFT JOIN font ON character.font_id = font.id WHERE size_w IN (3, 4) AND character LIKE 'A%'"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(PostgresQueryBuilder), r#"SELECT "character", "font"."name" FROM "character" LEFT JOIN "font" ON "character"."fontid" = "font"."id" WHERE "sizew" IN (3, 4) AND "character" LIKE 'A%'"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(SqliteQueryBuilder), r#"SELECT character, font.name FROM character LEFT JOIN font ON character.font_id = font.id WHERE size_w IN (3, 4) AND character LIKE 'A%'"# ); ```

Query Insert

```rust let query = Query::insert() .intotable(Glyph::Table) .columns(vec![ Glyph::Aspect, Glyph::Image, ]) .valuespanic(vec![ 5.15.into(), "12A".into(), ]) .valuespanic(vec![ 4.21.into(), "123".into(), ]) .toowned();

asserteq!( query.tostring(MysqlQueryBuilder), r#"INSERT INTO glyph (aspect, image) VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(PostgresQueryBuilder), r#"INSERT INTO "glyph" ("aspect", "image") VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(SqliteQueryBuilder), r#"INSERT INTO glyph (aspect, image) VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"# ); ```

Query Update

```rust let query = Query::update() .table(Glyph::Table) .values(vec![ (Glyph::Aspect, 1.23.into()), (Glyph::Image, "123".into()), ]) .andwhere(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).eq(1)) .toowned();

asserteq!( query.tostring(MysqlQueryBuilder), r#"UPDATE glyph SET aspect = 1.23, image = '123' WHERE id = 1"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(PostgresQueryBuilder), r#"UPDATE "glyph" SET "aspect" = 1.23, "image" = '123' WHERE "id" = 1"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(SqliteQueryBuilder), r#"UPDATE glyph SET aspect = 1.23, image = '123' WHERE id = 1"# ); ```

Query Delete

```rust let query = Query::delete() .fromtable(Glyph::Table) .condwhere( Cond::any() .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).lt(1)) .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).gt(10)) ) .to_owned();

asserteq!( query.tostring(MysqlQueryBuilder), r#"DELETE FROM glyph WHERE id < 1 OR id > 10"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(PostgresQueryBuilder), r#"DELETE FROM "glyph" WHERE "id" < 1 OR "id" > 10"# ); asserteq!( query.tostring(SqliteQueryBuilder), r#"DELETE FROM glyph WHERE id < 1 OR id > 10"# ); ```
